Networking

Networking involves at least two devices capable of being networked with at least one usually being a computer. The devices can be separated by a few meters (e.g. via Bluetooth) or thousands of kilometers (e.g. via the Internet).

The majority of companies have a difficult time deploying NAC across the enterprise. No existing NAC solution provides access control for all endpoints and operating systems – leaving vulnerable blind spots on the network. Some company leaders spend hundreds of thousands – even millions – of dollars on a NAC solution only to spend years trying to implement the technology. As a result, this can turn into a very frustrating process.
However, the solution intended to help you better secure and manage your network shouldn’t wind up creating greater risk and chaos. There are ways to set your network and your team up for success. Here are some tips to help you when considering deploying a NAC solution.

Leave administration is one of the most challenging aspects of workforce management and an area that continues to become more complicated as leave regulations—and lawsuits—increase. For employers, having to understand and comply with complex federal regulations, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), in addition to myriad local laws, union rules and company policies can be overwhelming. The task of complying with these many regulations often consumes a great deal of time for HR teams, especially those operating across multiple geographies.

This paper will show you how to pinpoint and quantify degradation in the thermal stack during development, which will greatly assist in the development of cost-optimized packaging solutions that are currently hampered by package reliability concerns.

This case study details the application of thermal characterization test methods to four medium power IGBT modules containing two half bridges, demonstrating results showing degradation of the thermal structure in conjunction with power cycling of the components

Some of the most time-consuming tasks in PCB design are placing parts on the board and routing traces. Designers who complete these tasks efficiently can make a more positive and direct impact on design quality and development time than designers who do not. PADS offers outstanding placement and routing capabilities that reduce the design cycle and improve product quality.

Printed circuit boards are the backbone of electronics products, providing the electrical system upon which the performance, life span, and reliability of the end product depend. This paper discusses the eight steps you can take to ensure PCB design success.

Take the pain and time-consuming task of PCB footprint and schematic symbol generation off your plate. This white paper reports on how Optimum Design Associates' pre-qualified PCB library symbols and footprints not only meet but, in many cases, exceed user requirements.

Understanding new data center developments and how they can help you better serve your end users and driver operational efficiencies is an essential step in identifying the right colocation provider, so read this whitepaper today.

This paper will explain some of the fundamentals of System Level Thermo-Fluid Analysis and demonstrate why 1D CFD is not an accurate description. It will shed some light on both the philosophy that underpins the system approach and how and why it is used.

The Internet of Things is one of the most often discussed and hotly debated topics in IT today. Now see how factories, utility companies, railroads, and more are taking advantage of the latest technology to gain greater insight, make more informed decisions, and get more done.
Join the TechWiseTV team and guest experts as they go deep into the solutions that make it easier to gather data and put it to work from the factory floor out into the field.

Cisco estimates that the Internet of Everything (IoE) — the networked connection of people, process, data, and things — will generate $19 trillion in Value at Stake for the private and public sectors combined between 2013 and 2022. More than 42 percent of this value — $8 trillion — will come from one of IoE’s chief enablers, the Internet of Things (IoT).

Everyone should be able to communicate from any device - especially in an emergency situation. The Cisco IP Interoperability and Collaboration Solution (IPICS) brings this capability to ANY organization without anyone having to purchase new or unique devices. In this clip we build a fully functional network on set to see exactly how this works, even using an iPad to communicate to a hand held radio.

The latest version of the Medianet-enabled Video Surveillance Manager (VSM) now runs on the Cisco Unified Computing System. Scale and reliability are redefined as Intelligent Networked Surveillance has come of age.
VSM 7 and MediaNet have completely changed how this is deployed and operated.

The current evolution of computing is prompting enterprise datacenters and their associated networks to adopt new approaches. The four pillars of computing — cloud, mobility, social, and analytics — are now the key trends driving new levels of network innovation that will determine the design and operation of datacenter networks over the next several years.

This presentation will illustrate how IT leaders are leveraging Unified Communications (UC) to deliver real-world business impact and present a roadmap for moving from application- and device-specific infrastructures to a more flexible Unified Communications (UC) solution.

Today’s branch office requires the same level of rich application services as the company headquarters to ensure business innovation and employee productivity.
Why are these services needed? What impact do they have on the network, IT staff, and service provider? What is the best way to boost the branch-office network to optimum levels - both technically and tactfully - if the devices provided do not meet the new requirements? Read on to learn more.
